Piss and Tell: The Shocking Revelation Behind Tsingtao’s Brewing Process

Breaking News: The Secret Ingredient in Tsingtao Beer Finally Revealed – And It’s Not Hops!

October 19, Tsingtao Brewery No. 3, Qingdao City, Shandong Province. An unnamed worker has been caught in the act, ascending a tank like a rogue mountaineer only to contribute his own “personal brew” into a vat of malt. This golden moment was, of course, immortalized on Weibo, China’s social media landscape, causing a froth of disgust and disbelief.

Tsingtao Brewery was quick to spill its own tea. “We took this piss-poor situation incredibly seriously,” their statement read. “We ratted ourselves out to the cops ASAP. Rest assured, that malty mess is now under lock and key, and we’re doubling down on quality control.”

Remember, this is China, the globe’s beer factory, cranking out a staggering 341,110,000 hectolitres in 2020 alone. And Tsingtao is a big fish in that hoppy pond.

But let’s not rain too much on this piss parade. Not every brewery is above recycling waste water. Over in Singapore, Brewerkz dares to tread where Tsingtao allegedly stumbled, using reclaimed sewage water for its New Brew, a 5% ABV Tropical Blonde Ale. Apparently, it has a “distinct fragrance” and “honey-like aftertaste” – all credited to malts and hops, mind you.
